The New Jersey State Park Service will allow public assemblies, meetings, demonstrations, religious activities and other public expressions of views conducted under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution in parks, in accordance with State Park Service regulations provided that a permit has been obtained from the Park Superintendent. To ensure public safety, protect park resources and avoid assigning the same time and location to two or more activities, the State Park Service may manage these activities by regulating the time, location, number of participants, use of facilities and number and types of equipment used, but not the content or message. Locations within the park that are available for public assemblies and other First Amendment activities, including the distribution of printed matter, will be designated on a map by the Park Police Sergeant. When the State Park Service allows one group to use an area or facility for expressing views, it must allow all other groups a similar opportunity, if requested. No group wishing to assemble lawfully may be discriminated against or denied the right of assembly, provided that all applicable permit criteria and requirements are met. Whenever religious activities are conducted in parks, any State Park Service actions pertaining to them must reflect a clearly secular purpose, must have a primary effect that neither advances nor inhibits religion and must avoid excessive governmental entanglement with religion. New Jersey State Park Service Staff on duty at an area in which a First Amendment activity is being conducted will be neutral toward the activity but will remain responsible for the protection of participants, spectators, private property, public property and park resources. On duty staff may not participate in the First Amendment activity. State Park employees exercising their First Amendment rights when off duty will not imply any Official State Park Service endorsement of the activity.
